Contracting out

The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and its component, the Union of National Defence Employees (UNDE), have written to Prime Minister Trudeau demanding the government revisit its decision to contract out maintenance and other related services in new multi-billion-dollar shipbuilding plans.

On September 21, National President of the PSAC component Union of Postal Communications Employees Francois Paradis appeared before a House of Commons Standing Committee where he testified about our union’s concerns regarding the recently released discussion paper from the Task Force on Canada Post.

Last week, a news report suggested that Shared Services Canada hired the services of a consulting firm to explore the possibilities of outsourcing of our member's jobs.
SSC confirms there will be no outsourcing
Immediately following these reports, PSAC/GSU was in touch with department officials to get clarification.
Ron Parker, president of Shared Services Canada provided assurances on a conference call that the consulting firm report from 2014 was never meant to be implemented and that our members will not incur any job losses.
